DURAN DURAN lyrics - Shadows On Your Side



Shackled and raised for a shining crowd

They want you to speak but the music is louder than

All of their roar wit the heat of the planet's core-but



CHORUS

The shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night



Promises made with a distant friend

Truth should be known it can only bend

To a tune of its own

Hey you'll never hear that voice again

Scandal in white on a tangled vine

With everybody to say that you're having the

Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but



CHORUS



Spinning a compass to choose your way

You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar

Whichever way you can be sure-that



CHORUS



Shadows on your side

The shadows are on your side


JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - The Ballad Of Skip Wiley



He's a man on a mission

Wild as a ricochet

Picture if you can when the Everglades ran

From the Gulf Coast to Biscayne Bay



He's gonna give it back to the gators

Lock the tourists up in theme parks and zoos

He says join me for lunch at the reptile's brunch

Where the barometer soup is you



He's crazy and dangerous

But who else can you trust

He's the outlaw in all of us

The environmental terrorist



You can mess with that mouse in Orlando

Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine

You can shoplift all day at Blockbuster

But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen



[Spoken:]

That's unthinkable in the state of Florida

What would the Chamber of Commerce say

This man is sick

Yeah



There were crimes of epic proportions

All part of Skip Wiley's crusade

Tourists were cackin'

And tourists were packin'

While he and Skink cooled there heels in the shade



Then came the citrus sensation

Welcome to the revolution he said

With a pirates persona

He snatched the gridiron madonna

And the day groovers called for his head



He's crazy and dangerous

But who else can you trust

He's the outlaw in all of us

The environmental terrorist



You can mess with that mouse in Orlando

Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine

You can rag on the Miami Dolphins

But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

No, No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen



[Spoken:]

Well Skip's caper it kinda backfired

Got the orange juice barons rather upset

In the light of bad moves these manhunts ensued

Skip easily slipped through the net

He was last seen atop of a mangrove

Perched like a wounded osprey

He was not meant to last

He belongs to the past

And I hope he gets there one day



He's crazy and dangerous

But who else can you trust

He's the outlaw in all of us

The environmental terrorist (terrorist)



You can mess with that mouse in Orlando

Jilt a tourist in St. Augustine

You can shoplift your days at Blockbuster

But you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

No you can't steal the Orange Bowl Queen

That's right

CELINE DION lyrics - One Heart



(One heart you are following)



You can run and you can begin'

In a place where you don't fit in

Love will find a way...yeah



When you're down, you can start again

Turn around and you think you're in

Love will find a place yeah



If you got one heart you are followin'

One dream keeps you wondering

Love lights your way through the night

One wish keeps you tryin'

Once your silver lining

Loves lights your way through the night



You can fall a thousand time

You can feel like you've lost your mind

Love will find a way oh yeah yeah

In a minute it can change your life

In a moment it can make you right

Love will find a place yeah



If you got one heart you are followin'

One dream keeps you wondering

Love lights your way through the night

One wish keeps you tryin'

Once your silver linin'

Loves lights your way through the night



Everybody needs something to hold on to

Everybody needs something to hold on to

if you got one heart you are followin'

one dream keeps u wondering

love lights your way through the night

One wish keeps you tryin'

once your silver linin'

Loves lights your way through the night



One wish keeps you tryin'

Once your silver linin'

Loves lights your way through the night



Love will find a way

Love will find a way in your heart


OHIO PLAYERS lyrics - Who'd She Coo

Who'd she coo

Who'd she coo

Everybody

(Everybody do it, do the Who'd she coo)

Who'd she coo

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Manhattan



Summer journeys to Niag'ra

And to other places aggra-

Vate all our cares.

We'll save our fares!

I've a cozy little flat in

What is known as old Manhattan

We'll settle down

Right here in town!

We'll have Manhattan

The Bronx and Staten

Island too.

It's lovely going through

The zoo!

It's very fancy

On old Delancy

Street you know.

The subway charms us so

When balmy breezes blow

To and fro.

And tell me what street

Compares with Mott Street

In July?

Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.

The great big city's a wonderous toy

Just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!

We'll go to Yonkers

Where true love conquers

In the whiles

And starve together dear, in Chiles

We'll go to Coney

And eat baloney on a roll

In Central Park we'll stroll

Where our first kiss we stole

Soul to soul

And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say

We both may see it close, some day

The city's glamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!



[Another version:]



Summer journeys to Niag'ra

And to other places aggra-

Vate all our cares.

We'll save our fares;

I've a cozy little flat in

What is known as old Manhattan,

We'll settle down

Right here in town.



We'll have Manhattan,

The Bronx and Staten

Island too.

It's lovely going through the Zoo.

It's very fancy

On old Delancey

Street you know.

The subway charms us so,

When balmy breezes blow

To and fro.

And tell me what street

Compares with Mott Street

In July?

Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.

The great big city's a wondrous toy

Just made for a girl and boy --

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



We'll go to Greenwich,

Where modern men itch

To be free,

And Bowling Green you'll see with me.

We'll bathe at Brighton,

The fish you'll frighten

When you're in,

Your bathing suit so thin

Will make the shellfish grin,

Fin to fin.

I'd like to take a

Sail on Jamaica

Bay with you,

And fair Canarsie's Lakes we'll view.

The city's bustle cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy --

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



We'll go to Yonkers,

Where true love conquers

In the wilds

And starve together, dear, in Childs'.

We'll go to Coney

And eat bologny

On a roll,

In Central Park we'll stroll

Where our first kiss we stole,

Soul to soul.

And South Pacific

Is a terrific

Show they say,

We both may see it close some day.

The city's clamour can never spoil

The dreams of a boy and goil --

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy.



We'll have Manhattan,

The Bronx and Staten

Island too,

We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue.

As black as onyx

We'll find the Bronix

Park Express,

Our Flatbush flat, I guess,

Will be a great success,

More or less.

A short vacation

On Inspiration

Point we'll spend,

And in the station house we'll end.

But Civic Virtue cannot destroy

The dreams of a girl and boy --

We'll turn Manhattan

Into an isle of joy!


ROGER WATERS lyrics - 5.06 AM (Every Strangers Eyes)



Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?

I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?

Ok you take cream and sugar?

In truck stops and hamburger joints

In Cadillac limousines

In the company of has-beens

And bent-backs and sleeping forms

On pavement steps

In libraries and railway stations

In books and banks

In the pages of history

In suicidal cavalry attacks

I recognise...

Myself in every stranger's eyes



And now from where I stand

Upon this hill I plundered from the pool

I look around, I search the skies

I shade my eyes, so nearly blind

And I see signs of half remembered days

I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

I recognise...

The hope you kindle in your eyes



It's oh so easy now

As we lie here in the dark

Nothing interferes it's obvious

How to beat the tears

That threaten to snuff out

The spark of our love


THE KINKS lyrics - Time Will Tell



Time will tell if I will drift eternally,

Through life instead of being someone.

All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.

Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,



Time will tell if I'll survive.

I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.

Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.

It's just a matter of time.



Time will tell if we will be the same as now,

Or not, if not, then never mind.

All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.

Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,



Time will tell if I'll survive.

I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.

Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.

It's just a matter of time.



Time will tell if dreams become reality,

For you got me, as long as you want.

All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind.

Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,



Time will tell if I'll survive.

I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive.

Time will tell, it's just a matter of time.

It's just a matter of time.

It's just a matter of time.


ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - Bleed The Freak



My cup runneth over

Like blood from a stone



These stand for me

Name your god and bleed the freak

I like to see

How you all would bleed for me



When the pig runs slower

Let the arrow fly

When the sin lies bolder

I'll pluck out thine eye



These stand for me

Name your god and bleed the freak

I like to see

How you all would bleed for me



If you scorn my lover

Satan got your thigh

If you steal in hunger

I will kick you when you try



These stand for me

Name your god and bleed the freak

I like to see

How you all would bleed for me



"All these things that you've done for me,

Have left me so... FUCKING TIRED

I'm not saying that you haven't done a lot of good,

But if there's one thing you can do,

You can BLEED FOR ME, BLEED FOR ME"



These stand for me

Name your god and bleed the freak

I like to see

How you all would bleed for me



These stand for me

Name your god and bleed the freak

I like to see

How you all would bleed for me

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Picture Book



Picture yourself when you're getting old,

Sat by the fireside a-pondering on[?].

Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.

Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Picture book.

Picture book.



A picture of you in your birthday suit,

You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.

Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old Uncle Charlie out boozing with their friends.

Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend.

Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Picture book.

Picture book.

Picture book.

Picture book.



Picture book,

Na, na, na, na na,

Na, na, na, na na,

A-scooby-dooby-doo.

Picture book,

Na, na, na, na na,

Na, na, na, na na,

A-scooby-dooby-doo.



Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Wild Love



(Karger / Weisman / Wayne)



Why are these teardrops still falling from my eyes?

You'd think by now I'd be wise

Those words you whispered just won't leave me yet

I still can hear you sighing,

All love will be undying

And I keep trying to forget



Would've been

Should've been

Could've been a wild love



How very clever it must have made you feel

To know your kiss was never real

And though it's over

My heart won't let you go

I hear your sigh and laughter

In every beam and rafter

Forever after I'll still know



Would've been

Should've been

Could've been a wild love



I still can hear you sighing,

All love will be undying

And I keep trying to forget



Would've been

Should've been

Could've been a wild love


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Wonderboy



(Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Bloss)



I haven't been very good

For some time but now I listen to the music once again

To bowie and the petshop boys

Getting better as the music's getting back to my head

When the moon has turned the blood

At the end of the world

Then the saints go marchin in and everybody starts to cry

Wake up, wonderboy

I haven't been very well

Feeling kind of seasick, tryin' to follow your contrail

You're flying miles above my head

While I'm dreaming underwater sleeping in a whale

When the stars begin to shine

Let me be in this number

And then it comes within a wave, like lsd to phantasy

Like gasoline into a fire, like virgin blood to a vampire

And everybody starts to smile

Cause i'm the wonderboy again...

Wake up, wonderboy..


RUSH lyrics - Animate



Polarize me

Sensitize me

Criticize me

Civilize me

Compensate me

Animate me

Complicate me

Elevate me

Goddess in my garden

Sister in my soul

Angel in my armor

Actress in my role

Daughter of a demon lover

Empress of the hidden face

Priestess of the pagan mother

Ancient queen of inner space

Spirit in my psyche

Double in my role

Alter in my image

Struggle for control

Mistress of the dark unconscious

Mermaid of the lunar sea

Daughter of the great enchantress

Sister to the boy inside of me

My counterpart, my foolish heart

A man must learn to rule his tender part

A warming trend, a gentle friend

A man must build a fortress to defend

A secret face, a touch of grace

A man must learn to give a little space

A peaceful state, a submissive trait

A man must learn to gently dominate

Polarize me

Sensitize me

Criticize me

Civilize me

Compensate me

Animate me

Complicate me

Elevate me


STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Only Love Can Break Your Heart



When you were young and on your own

How did it feel to be alone

I was always thinkin' of games that I was playin'

Tryin' to make the best of my time



But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart



I have a friend I've never seen

He hides his head inside a dream

Someone should call him and see if he can come out

Try to lose the down that he's found



But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart



And so my friend if you have seen

The other side of all those dreams

Know that you can take it as far as you would want to

Don't believe the great run around



But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart

I have a friend I've never seen

He hides his head inside a dream



Yes, only love can break your heart

Yes, only love can break your heart

Yes, only love can break your heart

Yes, only love can break your heart

Yes, only love can break your heart

Yes, only love can break your heart

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Send Me An Angel



The wise man said just walk this way

To the dawn of the light

The wind will blow into your face

As the years pass you by

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and your will find

The passage out of the dark

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place

In the eye of the storm

Seek the roses along the way

Just beware of the thorns

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand

And reach out for the spell

Find the door to the promised land

Just believe in yourself

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and your will find

The way out of the dark

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star


JOHN HIATT lyrics - Take Off Your Uniform



You've been a good girl

You've been a bad girl

You're not a girl anymore

Deep in a picture show

Unbuttoned in the last row

You watched the grown-ups win the war

Now that they've got you where they want you

You're just combin' your hair

The alteration's done, but you're havin' way too much fun

They want to touch you but you just don't care



Take off your uniform

They see what they want to see

You should have never been born

You'd better stay with me



Your replacement

Waits in the basement

They've got her down to your smile

She writes those letters too

She thinks she's better than you

She says you're just a foolish child

They got her smilin' while she's dialing

She's such a clever machine

She'd fit in anywhere, now that her vision's impaired

She listens up, but she don't know what they mean



Take off your uniform

They see what they want to see

You should have never been born

You'd better stay with me



Everyone's happy with your daily activities

They like that tone in your voice

Now that you're finally an adult in America

You're too dumb to have a choice



Take off your uniform

They see what they want to see

You should have never been born

Take off your uniform

They see what they want to see

You should have never been born

You'd better stay with me


PRINCE lyrics - The Love We Make



Desperate is the day that is 2morrow

4 those who do not know the time has come

2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow

From the table God set 4 His Son



Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing

All the while watching 2 see U fall

Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering

The one being dug right now by them all



Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens

No matter how heavy or dark the day

Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow

It's never as bad as it seems until we say



Precious is the baby with a mother

That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon

All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves

Put down the needle, put down the spoon [x2]



Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh

While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh

Blessed are we inside this prayer

4 in the new world, we will be there



The only love there is, is the love we make [x2]

(The only love there is, is the love we make)

Only love there is, only love there is

The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah)

The only love there is, is the love we make


PULP lyrics - The Trees



I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground & it died without a sound.

Your skin so pale against the fallen Autumn leaves & no-one saw us but the trees.

Yeah, the trees, those useless trees produce the air that I am breathing.

Yeah, the trees, those useless trees; they never said that you were leaving.

I carved your name with a heart just up above - now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love.

The smell of leaf mould & the sweetness of decay are the incense at the funeral procession here, today.

In the trees, those useless trees, etc.

You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be.

Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me.

Oh no, no I might as well go & tell it to the trees.

Go & tell it to the trees, yeah.


HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?



(Hughie Cannon)



On one summer's day,

The Sun was shinin' fine,

The lady love of old Bill Bailey

Was hangin' clothes on the line

In her back yard,

And weepin' hard.



She married a B&O brakeman

That took and throwed her down,

Bellerin' like a prune-fed calf

With a big gang hanging round

And to that crowd,

She hollered loud



[Chorus:]

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey

Won't you come home?

She moans the whole day long.

I'll do the cookin', darling

I'll pay the rent,

I know I've done you wrong;

'member that rainy eve that

I threw you out,

With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?

I know I'm to blame,

Well, ain't that a shame

Bill Bailey won't you please come home.



Bill drove by that door

In an automobile,

A great big diamond, coach and footman

Hear that lady squeal.

He's all alone

I heard her groan.



She hollered through the door

Bill Bailey, is you sore?

Stop a minute, listen to me

Won't I see you no more?

Bill winks his eye

As he heard her cry



[Chorus]

L. A. GUNS lyrics - I'd Love To Change The World



Everywhere is freaks and hairies

Dykes and fairies

Tell me where is sanity



Tax the rich feed the poor

Till there are no

Rich no more



I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you



Population keeps on breeding

Nation bleeding

Still more feeding economy



Life is funny

Skies are sunny

Bees make honey

Who need money monopoly



I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you



World pollution no solution

Institution execution

Black an' white

Rich or poor

Them and us

Stop the war


CARLY SIMON lyrics - Coming To Get You



(Carly Simon)



Last night you called me from Arkansas

So that's where you are!

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

So they think they can take you away from your ma -

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

Mother in-law, father in-law

Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas

Laid down the law;

Said I was crazy

Crazy and lazy



They expect me to go before a judge and stand there shaking

While my heart is breaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

Mother in-law, father in-law

Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas

Laid down the law;

Said I was crazy

Crazy and lazy



Oh I'm gonna get a judge who is a lady

I'm comin' to get you, let there be no mistaking

Maybe she knows about having a baby.

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

PULP lyrics - My Lighthouse



Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say

It can wait for a moment; well in fact

It can wait all day

I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see

The beauty of this situation that

You could share with me



It may seem strange

To talk of love and then lighthouses

It's not strange

To me

Hey

All alone

You and I in our high tower

That's the way

To be



Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower

But I don't mind because I know

Their envy grows by the hour

See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way

All this is mine; it could be yours too

What do you say?



It may seem strange

To talk of love and then lighthouses

It's not strange

To me

Hey

All alone

You and I in our high tower

That's the way

To be

Hehehey hey.


BEACH BOYS lyrics - Custom Machine



(Brian Wilson)



Check my custom machine



Well she's metal flake blue with a corvette mill

(Check my custom machine)

And they say it looks better when she's standin' still

(Check my custom machine)

When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa

I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine



Well with naugahyde bucket seats in front and back

(Check my custom machine)

Everything is chrome, man, even my jack

(Check my custom machine)

When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa

I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine



With stereophonic speaker set with vibrasonic sound

(Check my custom machine)

Magnesium spokes, it stands an inch off the ground

(Check my custom machine)

When I step on the gas she goes wa aa aa

I'll let you look but don't touch my custom machine

AMERICA lyrics - Sleeper Train



I was on a sleeper train

Bound for anywhere

And I was gazin' out the window

In a long stare

Watchin' the sage brush go by

And a pink and yellow sky

Thinkin' 'bout your eyes

Feelin' good to be alive



I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky



And I was watchin' the towns drift into view

Listenin' to my thoughts of you

And the rhythm of the wheels

And the shadows on the hills

Leavin' one more life behind

Never knowin' what I'd find

Such a distant great expanse

And the dust-devils, they dance



And I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky



Abandon everything that went before

Ahead now lies another open door

Abandon everything that went before



I was on a sleeper train

Bound for anywhere

And I was gazin' out the window

In a long stare

Watchin' the sage brush go by

And a pink and yellow sky

Thinkin' 'bout your eyes

Feelin' good to be alive



I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky



The train kept rollin'

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - E Eats Everything



A hardly has an appetite

And pokes at food too long

And B can barely bother

Because all the food is wrong

C likes only candy

And chocolate by the box

D is just disinterested

In anything you've got



But E eats everything

Yeah, E eats everything

E eats everything

Yeah, E eats everything



So toss in on a plastic plate

Or stick it with a fork

Serve it with a shovel

Or serve it on a spork



Yeah, E eats everything

Yeah, E eats everything



F is far too fussy

And only eats with fancy wine

G eats only gourmet

But never can decide

H burns food so horrible

All I tastes is smoke

J just likes drinking juice

And K drinks only soda



But E eats everything

Yeah, E eats everything



E is eating in a moving car

E is eating upside down

E is eating on a spaceship

E is eating off the ground

L and M and N and P

Won't start 'til O arrives

Q and R and S and T

Are wearing clothes much too tight

U and V and W

Are worn out from this song

And X and Y just will not share

And will not get along



But E eats everything

Yeah, E eats everything



But look out now, here it comes

That final letter Z

Now Z's not like other letter

Z's only eating E's

Yeah, Z eats E's

Yeah, Z eats E's

Z eats E's

Yeah, Z eats E's


JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF lyrics - The Balance



Nineteen-hundred-sixty-four

We were kids, didn't know about the war

Still wasting time in school

There were Joe and Sue, Jack and Jim

A couple more in the second string

All the rest just weren't cool

Ah, we'd hang around in our little gang

Having dreams, making plans

For the outside world

But when I see us now

I really find it strange

How little, how much we've changed

In the years gone by

I guess it's meant to be that way



Jimmy always played the clown

It was his way of hanging on to the crowd

But when he was down he'd come around

To get his hands on every agent known to man

No matter how from aspirin to zylatoll

Crazy Jimmy tried them all

And he was dying but now he's fine

For he gets up at five o'clock

Runs ten miles in the L. A. smog

Still crazy



I've heard him say that anything worth really doing

Should be done until you're falling down

And though he left the road to ruin

He's found a new way to the ground

He still ain't found his balance



Joe was never hard to please

When they said "Go" he went overseas into battle

He stuck it out to the bitter end

Lived like a dog, fought like a man in the saddle



And when he came home from Vietnam

They said "The war did him no harm"

They're lying

He's known to cry and scream at times, in his dreams

Holding off the nightmares that he sees



Time may heal the nightly screaming

But the scars will still remain

He fights so hard to kill his demon

At times the pain drives him insane

Trying to regain his balance



Jack and Susie lost no tome

They went to college and carried signs in the rally

And finally with cap and gown

They tied the knot and settled down in the valley

Oh but now they've got two little boys

The place is filled with broken toys and dreams

For it seems that Jack, in spite of his degree

Moonlights at night, in the factory



Susie's got the house and the children

But no time for her to grow

And Jack is making their first million

And until they can't let go

I guess they'll owe the balance



We don't talk much anymore

Seems our little gang is bored with callin'

Anyway we're too busy with gettin' on

And looking out for number one

Is all we got in common

With business, home, family

Are we ever all that we could be?

Trading in our fantasy

We live this part time life

Of false security

Seems to me that doers never dream enough

And dreamers often do nothing at all

And to find that middle ground is rough

But I'll be damned if I let go

Stop looking for the balance


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Steady Rollin' Man



(Robert Johnson)



I am a steady rollin' man

And I roll both night and day.

I am a steady rollin' man

And I roll both night and day.

But I ain't got no sweet woman,

Woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way.



I am the man that rolls

When icicles are hanging on the tree.

I am the man that rolls

When icicles are hanging on the tree.

Why can't you hear me begging mama,

Woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee?



[Repeat First Verse]


AMY GRANT lyrics - Lay Down



(Jesse Winchester)



It's a cold cold world

That we're walkin' through

Lay down the burden of your heart

But it's warm as toast

Walkin' two by two

Lay down the burden of your heart



[Chorus:]

Lay down the burden of your heart

I know you'll never miss it

Show your Daddy where it hurts,

And let your Daddy lift it



It's a fine fine line

Between love and hate

Why, it's tough to tell the two apart

But you know it's love

That He offers you

Lay down the burden of your heart



[Chorus]

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Wallflower



Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me?

I'm sad and lonely too.

Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me?

I'm fallin' in love with you.



Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.

Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.



Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me?

The night will soon be gone.



I have seen you standing in the smoky haze

And I know that you're gonna be mine one of these days,

Mine alone.



Wallflower, wallflower

Take a chance on me.

Please let me ride you home.

SANTANA lyrics - Hold On



(Ian Thomas)



Don't rush me just this once

I want to make this moment last

Slow down the pace, there's no hurry

I can't let another pass by me again

Let me be the one to say when I've had enough



Just let me close my eyes, memorize

The way things are this minute

So when you're gone I can go on

If memory can hold within it what I'm feeling

Should time try fading or stealing something away



CHORUS:

Hold on, nothing's the same

Tell me why I feel this way

Life wouldn't be worth living without you

All along I've been the pretender

But now that's gone forever

Nobody's ever loved me like you do

Nobody's broken through



Got to concentrate, file away

Every last detail

Don't want to lost what's going down

I want to remember everything I'm feeling

Should time try fading or stealing something away



CHORUS

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I Should Have Watched That First Step



I once had a love, a true and lasting love,

But the fool in me came out one night.

And with her loving eyes

She saw right through my eyes,

And she changed the night

I stepped across the line.



I should have watched that first step

It was a mighty big step

When I started steppin' out of line.

Though she's still lovin' me

It's not the way it used to be.

That first step did something to her mind.



I watched her slip away

A little more every day

And my conscience couldn't live

With all that pain.

She's growing colder since the day I told her

And the love we had will never be the same.



I should have watched that first step

It was a mighty big step

When I started steppin' out of line.

Though she's still lovin' me

It's not the way it used to be

That first step did something to her mind

That first step did something to her mind.


JOHN DENVER lyrics - It's About Time



(Denver/Hardin)



There's a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again.

Who's to say you have to lose for someone else to win?

In the eyes of all the people, the look is much the same,

for the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game.

It's about time we realize it, we're all in this together.

It's about time we find out, it's all of us or none.

It's about time we recognize it, these changes in the weather.

It's about time, it's about changes, and it's about time.



There's a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see

and a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me.

I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land,

with his lips upon our mother's breast, he makes his strongest stand.

It's about time we start to see it, the earth is our only home.

It's about time we start to face it, we can't make it here all alone.

It's about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind,

it's about time and it's about changes and it's about time.



There's a man who is my brother, I just don't know his name.

But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same.

And it hurts me when he's hungry and when his children cry.

I too am a father, and that little one is mine.

It's about time we begin it, to turn the world around.

It's about time we start to make it, the dream we've always known.

It's about time we start to live it, the family of man.

It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time.

It's about peace and it's about plenty and it's about time,

It's about you and me together and it's about time.


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)



[Originally by Phil Collins]



How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace

When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh

You're the only one who really knew me at all



How can you just walk away from me,

When all I can do is watch you leave

Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears

You're the only one who really knew me at all



So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me,

Just the memory of your face

Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face



I wish I could just make you turn around,

Turn around and see me cry

There's so much I need to say to you,

So many reasons why

You're the only one who really knew me at all



So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face

Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space



But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

It's the chance I've gotta take



Take a look at me now

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Too Soon To Know



(Don Gibson)



It's too soon to know

If I can forget her

My heart's been broken in too many pieces

And it's too soon to know.



Time passes slow,

Will I ever know

If I can forget her and not let it show

But it's too soon to know.



News travels fast when a love affair ends

People keep asking, "What happened to them?"

But it's too soon to know

If I can forget her

My heart's been broken in too many pieces

And it's too soon to know.


WILL SMITH lyrics - Afro Angel



(Ooh, Ohh)

Here I stand before you - brown.

Color of the mountains

Colossal as the earth

Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery

Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind

Here I stand before you, the color of the night

Frozen by the potential of me

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel



Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above

You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love

In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations

Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle

Today, he is in your town, puttin it down

You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around

Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free

You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me

And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well

Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel

No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm

As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb

Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage

Something small, something simple as a pass back stage

But now I lay me, down to creep

And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep



[Chorus:]

Afro Angel, born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro Angel, sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved

You know that you are loved



Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen

Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems

Rage inside, pride, been denied respect

He can't take it though he gotta earn it

But he ain't learned that yet

Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before

But now he straps, and no more

Attitude high

Flexin on every guy that walk by

But don't start pal

Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now

Let's pull it on a stranger

Ahh, fun for the crew

Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too

Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute

Bobby's a deer in a headlights

Pump, drop it or I'll shoot

Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands

One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands

Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings

But for what?



[Chorus:]

Afro Angel, born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro Angel, sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved

You know that you are loved



Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb

Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom

Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game

But had the cutest kid you ever seen

Then all the pressure from her mom

She stepped to Russ

Told him it's either them drugs or us

Either them thugs or us

The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world

Or start lovin your girl

And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear

But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year

That ain't happenin

I guess he wasn't that strong

He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone

Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word

Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed

Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn

And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone



Upstate Schenectady,

Tamika answered the door

It was the last person she expected to be

They just stared

He said you love me for me?

You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?

Down with me?

Period.

Through life's stress and strife

She said, Yeah, He said in that case

Would you please be my wife?

Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried

Like an angel sings

I love y'all more than anything



[Chorus:]

Afro Angel, born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro Angel, sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved

You know that you are loved



[Chorus]


JAN AND DEAN lyrics - The Little Old Lady From Pasadena



It's the little old lady from Pasadena



The little old lady from Pasadena

(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias

(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

But parked in a rickety old garage

Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge



[Chorus:]

And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner

Than the little old lady from Pasadena

(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)

She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard



It's the little old lady from Pasadena

If you see her on the street don't try to choose her

(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her

(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later

'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator



[Chorus]



[Musical Interlude]



(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)

The guys come to race her for miles around

But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down



[Chorus]



Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go [6x]



[Fade]


U2 lyrics - Electrical Storm



The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching

Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed

And the day it is breaking



On rainy days we'd go swimming out

On rainy days swimming in the sound

On rainy days we'd go swimming out



You're in my mind all of the time

I know that's not enough

If the sky can crack there must be someway back

For love and only love



Electrical Storm

Electrical Storm

Baby don't cry



Car alarm won't let you back to sleep

You're kept awake dreaming someone elses dream

Coffee is cold but it'll get you through

Compromise that's nothing new to you.

Let's see colours that have never been seen

Let's go places no one else has been



You're in my mind all of the time

I know that's not enough

Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back

To love and only love



Electrical storm [x3]

Baby don't cry



It's hot as hell, honey in this room

Sure hope the weather will break soon

The air is heavy, heavy as a truck

We need the rain to wash away our bad luck



Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back

To love and only love



Electrical storm [x3]



Baby don't cry [x3]


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Moonlight Mood



(H. Adamson, P. DeRose)



[Recorded November 30, 1965, Hollywood]



Moonlight mood when twilight is ending

You're in my moonlight mood and our hearts are blending

There on the same old wall that we used to know long ago

You walked there in a ribbon of moonlight

There you are as lovely as ever

You vowed by every star to love me forever

Although you're far away we meet in my solitude

You are mine when I'm in my moonlight mood...

Then in the moonlight you are mine

When I'm in my moonlight mood...

GREG BROWN lyrics - Further In



Further in, grandmother; grandfather, hold my hand

As I go on through this life and try to understand

The beauty of your faces I will never see again

But I know you're with me now leading me further in



Further in, you friends of mine, they led me further in

I know I've hurt you many times and I've helped you and I will again

You to me and me to you, and us to all of them

The circle that will ever grow as we go further in



Further in, O my love, take me further in

Past the place where love hides its face and down to where we begin

So deep in this mystery, my tears on yours depend

And they like some wild river flow as we go further in


STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Smile



A smiling face is on earth like star

A frown can't bring out the beauty that you are

Love within and you'll begin smiling...

There're brighter days ahead



Don't mess your face up with better tears

'Cause life is gonna be what it is

It's okay, please don't delay from smiling...

There're brighter days ahead



Bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum



A smiling face you don't have to see

'Cause it's as joyful as a Christmas tree

Love within and you'll begin smiling...

There're brighter days ahead



Love's not competing it's on your side

You're in life picture so why must you cry

So for a friend please begin to smile - Please

There're brighter days ahead



Bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum



Please smile for me



Bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum

Bum bum di ti bum



Please smile for me



Bum - smile

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Portait Of Authority



nothing more nothing less

an icon on the wall decoration and duress

that which many strive to be

its the merble statue standing over me

and nobody has the will to tear it down

it determines wrong and right

but to me its just a stereotype

and it makes us lose our sight

the portait of authority

you tell me

that's what im supposed to be

(it embodies what he cannot be)

another time another man

and oppressive intrusion

and a plague across his land

and it haunts him every day

it tells him he has no chance

his hopes just fade away

and he can't muster the support

and to him it's just a stereotype

of his life-long fight

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - No Other Love



There were no violins

There were no soft guitars

Hot summer love under the city stars

I was Mr. Dynamite

And you were my only girl

We held each other through the night

Caught in the whirl



[Chorus:]

No other love

In all of the world

In all of my life

There was no other love



There was no fireside

No Beaujolais for two

Winter was cold but we had me and you

All the words we used to say

All the crazy plans we made

We were so nieve that way

So unafraid



[Chorus]



I don't know where it went

Turned into yesterday

Time comes and goes like music in a play

Looking back I still don't know

Why we ever had to end

And it's so hard letting go

Of what we had then



[Chorus]

ZZ TOP lyrics - Beatbox



A nine volt battery from japan

It's got the beat

A little tape deck in my hand

It's so so sweet

Keeps me rockin' 'round the clock

I don't mind it

I got the beatbox, the beatbox,

Just a beatin' that box

Beatbox, beatbox

One c-90's back to back

Jumpin' on that jack

Don't play with fire or

Unplug my wire, beg or steal

It's not for hire

Keeps me rockin' 'round the clock

I don't mind it because

I got the beatbox, the beatbox

Just a beatin' that box

Beatbox, beatbox

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Fear Is The Key



(Dickinson/Gers)



We live our lives in fever

In chooking sweat of fear

In the heart of the night you can feel so much

In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch"



[Chorus:]

I remember a time when we used and abused

And we fought all our battles in vain

I remember a time we thought that passion was free

In the heart of the night... bodies aflame



We live in fever...



I hear your secret heartbeat

I can hear your silent cries

The kids have lost their freedom

And nobodey cares till somebodey famous dies...



[Chorus]



Now we live, in a world of uncertanity

Fear is the key - to what you whant to be

You don't get a say the majority gets it's way

You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...


THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - One Of These Days



One of these days

Ain't it peculiar

Gonna look for me

And baby I'll be gone

One of these days

And it won't be long

You gonna call my name

And I'll be far gone



I'm gonna tell you something

That I ain't told no one before

That is if I can't stop dancing

And get my poor self off this bar room floor



One of these days

Ain't it peculiar

Babe you're gonna call my name

You now that I'll be gonne (bye bye baby)



I'm gonna tell you something

That I ain't told no one before

That is if I can't stop dancing

And get my poor self off this bar room floor



One of these days

And it won't be long

You gonna call my name

And I'll be gone

You gonna call my name

And I'll be gone

You gonna call my name

And I'll be gone

Now get crunk motherfucker get crunk (repeat 2X)

Now get drunk motherfucket get drunk (repeat 2X)

Now tell them hoes to drop they clothes

And cut something for the motherfucking d-lo's



[Chorus]



[Too $hort:]

Short short, short, short

Now I don't give a fuck about ya' benz or ya light-skinned bitch

I don't give a fuck who you tell you don't like this shit

The fact still stand you got one girlfriend

And I fill like the whole world's pimp

I can't be like you, always acting fake

I can tell you how much a real mac can make

A million dollars ain't shit to spend

Get some new hoes and get it again

So don't tell me what'cha wish for

You wanna be kept by a rich hoe

Bitch ass nigga, I'm trying to get me a lick

She better pay me right now she wanna get some dick

I told cha' got the game from the old niggas

Everytime I park my car him come the gold diggers

With the easy pussy sign on display

If you looking for some money don't come this way



[Hook: Too Short]

You couldn't be a better player than me

Even if you fucked every day of the week

I know you think you got it like that with P

I be fucking hoes everyday of the week biiitch!!!



[Chorus]



[Too $hort:]

Now I don't give a fuck about cha' phone book and all ya' pictures

Chilling at the club with all ya bitches

Lying on ya' dick save the drama

Got my eye on ya' bitch and ya baby mama, catch ya' snoozing

You know the rules pimp ya' bitch is chosing, ya' bout' to lose them

Yelling get cha' ass in the car bitch

But I'm much to fast with this hard dick

Short dog took ya' broad, it just can't be

Ya' bitch sucked me and fucked me and than she think me

I know the whole story, you ain't serving it right

I'll probably stop by and put some work in tonight



[Hook: Too Short]

You couldn't be a better player than me

Even if you fucked everyday of the week

I know you think you got it like that with P

I be fucking hoes every day of the week

I know you couldn't be a better player than me

Even if you rode in luxury

I know you smoke colting that top notch freak

You never could be a better player than me, biiitch!!!



[Chorus]



[Hook: East Side Boyz]

Now what's up fuck nigga what's up [2x]

You gone buck fuck nigga then buck [2x]

Ya' boys done left ya' now ya' stuck [2x]

Ain't got no pistol on ya ass so you stuck [2x]

You wanna run like a motherfucking bitch

You shouldn't have been no motherfucking snitch [2x]

My nigga trigger finger startin' to itch [2x]

You shouldn't have been no motherfucking bitch [2x]



[Too $hort:]

Now I don't give a fuck if you fuck the richest bitch on earth

You can be a jiggalo couldn't get more work

Cause I'm a player from way back taught by the best

No hater can fade me

I was short like the rest of y'all half stepping little dicks wanna be big

willie's, you got a bad case of the sillies

In the studio you make believers

In real life you more like the cape crusaders

Rushing to the scene to save them hoes

Everytime they come across them crazy folks

You cuff 'em hurry up and get em' to safety

But sooner or later the bitch gotta face me

Cause I put the game down from the start

And you ain't nothing but a dumb ass mark

Do yo' thing and watch me do mine

Get the bitch on the phone and we'll see who lying, nigga



WHAT! [until fade]

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Crazy



Here's a little song to make you feel good

Put a little light in your day

These are crazy times

And it's all been getting pretty serious



Here's a little song to make you feel right

Send the blues away

Well it's a crazy game

Tell me who's to blame, I'm kind of curious.



Right if you win, wrong if you lose

Nobody listens when you're singing the blues

Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done

Oh everyone's waiting for a place in the sun

Well something is wrong now

Can something be wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy...



Gimme little left, gimme little right

Gimme little black, gimme little white

Gimme little peace, gimme little hope

Gimme little light

'Cause you know it seems that the situation's getting serious.



Right if you win, wrong if you lose

Nobody listens when you're singing the blues

Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done

There's no use in waiting for a place in the sun

'Cause something is wrong now

Can something be wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy...

Oh something is wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be this crazy...


BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Roll Me Away



Took a look down a westbound road,

right away I made my choice

Headed out to my big two-wheeler,

I was tired of my own voice

Took a bead on the northern plains

and just rolled that power on



Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City

stopped in a bar to have a brew

Met a girl and we had a few drinks

and I told her what I'd decided to do

She looked out the window a long long moment

then she looked into my eyes

She didn't have to say a thing,

I knew what she was thinkin'



Roll, roll me away,

won't you roll me away tonight

I too am lost, I feel double-crossed

and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right

We never even said a word,

we just walked out and got on that bike

And we rolled

And we rolled clean out of sight



We rolled across the high plains

Deep into the mountains

Felt so good to me

Finally feelin' free



Somewhere along a high road

The air began to turn cold

She said she missed her home

I headed on alone



Stood alone on a mountain top,

starin' out at the Great Divide

I could go east, I could go west,

it was all up to me to decide

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'

and my soul began to rise

And pretty soon

My heart was singin'



Roll, roll me away,

I'm gonna roll me away tonight

Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',

keep searchin' till I find what's right

And as the sunset faded

I spoke to the faintest first starlight

And I said next time

Next time

We'll get it right

THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - Without A Song



(Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans)



Without a song

The day would never end

Without a song

The road would never have been

When things go wrong

A man ain't got a friend

Without a song



That field of corn

Would never ever see a plow

That field of corn

Would be deserted now

A man is born

But he's no good no how

Without a song



I've got my trouble and woe

But sure as I know

The Jordan will roll

I'll get along

As long as a song

Is strung in my soul



I'll never know

What makes the rain to fall

I'll never know

What makes the grass so tall

I only know

There ain't no love at all

Without a song


LEO SAYER lyrics - The Dancer



(Leo Sayer/David Courtney)



Jeanette was a dancer

I suppose I knew her well

Her feet danced miracles

I was lost within her spell

Jeanette knew a singer

Was the leader of some band

Looked just like a boy

And stood just like a man

And it rains all down the avenue

Yes it rains all down the avenue

Just for you

Just for you

Just for you boy

Just for you

The kids in the back street cry

You hear their voices in your brain

The world is full of hungry souls

Behind the window panes

Little Jenny on the high wire

Slow motion as she fell

Sometimes I think the wire is me

The tragedy as well

And it rains all down the avenue

Oh yes it rains all down the avenue

It rains all down the avenue

Just for you

Just for you

Just for you boy

Just for you

Just for you boy

Just for you



[Solo]



I work on the west side

Jeanette I pulled your strings

I stood upon the pavement

I never owned a thing

And still I am the singer

I know my song so well

The rain falls through my eyes

And lands below the shell

And it rains all down the avenue

Yes it rains all down the avenue

Oh yes it rains all down the avenue

Just for you boy

Just for you

Just for you boy

Just for you


THE BEATLES lyrics - I Saw Her Standing There



(Lennon/McCartney)



[1,2,3,4!]



Well, she was just 17

You know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another (Ooh)

When I saw her standing there



Well she looked at me, and I, I could see

That before too long I'd fall in love with her

She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)

When I saw her standing there



Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine...



Whoah, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)

Since I saw her standing there



Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine...



Whoah, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)

Since I saw her standing there


DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Sometimes A Mind Changes



(Hall)



He heard a voice call his name

Pulling hard and telling him to make some change

He let a lot pass him by

Sacrificed his sacred fire to buy some time



To let it go sounds easy

What used to be a certainty

Is shifting with the sands of time

Sometimes a mind changes

Then another heart's got to fly away



She had a dream of family

Two by thirty

Living in love in tenderness

She let a lot pass her by

Sacrificed her sacred fire to buy some time



Letting go sounds easy

What used to be a certainty

Ain't true

Sometimes a mind changes

Then another heart's got to fly away

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Gotta Know The Rules



Spent my whole life, yeah

Looking for something

What it was, I'm not really sure

I looked for happiness

But only found sorrow

Then I realized how to unlock that door, yeah, yeah, yeah

So you think you've got it figured out

It don't come easy

Maybe just for fools

Some say life

Is a struggle now

It's a game now

Just gotta know the rules

Gotta know the rules



Loads of people go

Through life thinking

Take what you can and leave the weak behind

Never stop to think

What can you give now

Too afraid to learn what you might find, yeah, yeah, yeah



So you think you've got it figured out

It don't come easy

Maybe just for fools

Some say life

Is a struggle now

It's a game now

Just gotta know the rules

Gotta know the rules



I spent my whole life, yeah

Doing things my way

Doing unto others knowing it's wrong

When's the last time you

Looked in the mirror?

When's the last time you

Liked what you saw, yeah, yeah, yeah



So you think you've got it figured out

It don't come easy

Maybe just for fools

Some say life

Is a struggle now

It's a game now

Just gotta know the rules

Gotta know the rules


BRENDA LEE lyrics - Feels So Right



(Fred Wise - Ben Weisman)



Step in these arms, where you belong

It feels so right, so right

How can it be wrong?



There's something in the way you kiss

That makes me want to hold you tight

I know that nothing can't be wrong

That feels so right.



Each time we touch, you thrill me so

It means so much, so much

I can't let you go



This isn't only for tonight

We're gonna love our whole life long

'Cause baby, if it feels so right

How can it be wrong?

HENRY GROSS lyrics - Shannon



Another day's at end

Mama says she's tired again

No one can even begin to tell her

I hardly know what to say

But maybe it's better that way

If Pop-pa were here I'm sure he'd tell her



Shannon, is gone I heard

She's drifting out to sea

She always loved to swim away

Maybe she'll find an island with a shaded tree

Just like the one in our backyard



Mama tries hard to pretend

That things will get better again

Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes

And I know that somewhere tonight

She knows how much we really miss her



Shannon, is gone I heard

She's drifting out to sea

She always loved to swim away

Maybe she'll find an island

With a shaded tree

Just like the one in our back yard

Ah, just like the one in our back yard

Ah....

Just like the one in our back yard

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Give In, You Just Can't Win



You can try to win my love, but it's just too late

Try & try again, but to lose me is your fate

You can walk the streets till your feet refuse

But you won't find me; you'll find only the blues

Oh nothin' but the blues, oh baby

So give in, you just can't win

So give in, you just can't win

No, you just can't win



[MG:] Oh baby, baby, honey

You did me wrong when my love was true

You just led me on; now I've gone away from you, darlin'

If you call me on the phone to remove your pain

There'll be a busy signal, or else an endless ring

Oh nothin' but a ring, oh baby

So give in, you just can't win

So give in, you just can't win, oh

[TT:] Oh baby, give in



[Instrumental]



[MG:] Tell me, what do you get when you call me, honey?

[TT:] Just an endless ring, oh nothin' but a ring, oh baby

[Both:] So give in, you just can't win

So give in, you just can't win

[TT:] No, you just can't win

[MG:] Oh oh oh oh



[TT:] Oh baby give in, you know you just can't win

[MG:] Don't want your love no more, darlin'

[TT:] This stuff has got to stop

[MG:] Ah I can't stand it

[TT:] Don't need the love you got

[MG:] I don't want your love no more

[TT:] I've tried it before

[MG:] I don't want you no more, baby

[TT:] I don't need you no more

[...& fade]


BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - Love In The Key Of C



(Rick Nowels)



I've been through some hard love

Sweet love

Impossible love

Deep love



But there was always a hitch

Something couldn't be fixed

A bit out of tune

With ending it soon



And just when I felt I had enough

And I thought my life just wasn't living it up

You came to me so magically

Giving me

Love in the key of C

I've been impressed

Depressed

Satisfied

Completely denied



But with you it just feels so right to me

We both came together so easily

And I can't believe that I love you (and)

You love me

Love in the key of C



Love in the key of C

You're my life's sweet harmony

It's the key of Amazing Grace

'Cuz you save my life

When it was all the way down

Your gentle love turned my life around



'Cuz with you it just feels so right to me

We both came together so incredibly

And I can't believe that I love you (and)

You love me (thank you God)



Love in the key of C

Love in the key of C


VANESSA PARADIS lyrics - St. Germain



(Vanessa Paradis / Johnny Depp)



Pour un exil

Ce petit bout de femme t'emmenera loin

Tout est permis

J'ai mis mes pas dans les siens

Elle est bien le soleil

Puisque tout tourne autour d'elle

Petite merveille



Pas si facile

D'etre aussi pure dans un monde qui l'est moins

Mille et une symphonies

Qu'elle inventera en un rien

Enfin le bonheur

C'est toutes les couleurs

De son coeur



Tu donnes gout a la vie

Je t'avoue je t'envie

T'es tout c'qui m'donne envie

M'donne la vie

Melody



Je m'adoucis

Quand je m'rends compte qu'au fond elle m'aime bien

Pour un de ses sourires je f 'rais

Le tour de la terre sur les mains

Aux nouvelles des etoiles

Elle fait briller son ame

Quand l'jour s'enflamme



Tu donnes gout a la vie

Je t'avoue je t'envie

T'es tout c'qui m'donne envie

M'donne la vie

Melody


DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - To Be With You



I turned out all the lights

In my old world

There in the dark I left a

Tremblin' crying darling girl

It's plain to see that you got me

Doin' what I have to do

To be with you.



I wonder how big a fool a man can be

Burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts,

And causin' miseries, right or wrong

I'll go on doin' what I have to do

To be with you.



It seems you possess me body and soul

You keep my heart to poundin' so

My mind can't take control



I can't change the things I fail to see

In time I know some things I've done

Gonna all come down on me

I'll get by, though I might cry

Doin' what I have to do

To be with you.

KISS lyrics - Talk To Me



When I see you, girl you turn my head, you make me dizzy

I get a good vibration

When I look into your big blue eyes, I start to quiver and shake

I get a strange sensation

When you walk by me you strut around, you make me crazy, I get no relaxation



Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation, talk to me



People tell me that you run around and that you're no good

You got a bad reputation

I don't care what all the people say, you know they talk too much

It's a fascination

All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation



So talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you

Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me



I just wanna talk to you



Girl I wish you knew the way I felt, you think I'm silly, that it's infatuation

So we better get together soon, because I need you girl

I can't stand the frustration, so



Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you

Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me



Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you

(repeats out)


BRIAN WILSON lyrics - There's So Many



There's so many dreams to dream of

Why not dream about my true love

And even though I can't be with her

I still have my fantasy

Fantasy world



There's so many risks to take

And if I lose my heart will break

I think I might take a chance on love again

Oh on love again

Love again



I wonder

Why has it taken so long

I wonder

If you know where you belong

Your face up in the sky

Where angels fly

In heaven's eye

Where planets are spinning around



There's so many songs to sing

I'm thankful for the love they bring

Don't let old scars keep us apart

We're gonna mend our broken hearts

Starting tonight



I wonder

If you know where you belong

I wonder

Why has it taken so long

To get you in my arms

To feel my love that is so strong

Where planets are spinning around

Planets are spinning around


BAD COMPANY lyrics - Knapsack



Oh darling be mine tonight

Wont you be my baby and treat me right



Oh darling you know you're my only love

Baby baby like the sun above



She got a heart of gold and something I call soul

She got everything I need ain't no flies on me



Oh baby won't you love me tonight

Oh baby I'm gonna treat you right



Take my hand and hold me tight

Take you in my arms and love you tonight



She got a heart of gold and something I call soul

She got everything I need ain't no flies on me



Baby when you wrote that letter

It went right to my heart

When I opened the envelope

I kew we were going to part



Oh-u-oh-u baby baby don't you treat me like a fool

Because baby baby I once went to school

Oh you know that I love you and I always will

Oh baby you sent me your bill


PATTI LABELLE lyrics - Down The Aisle (Wedding Song)



Down the aisle I'll walk with you

Just to hear the words I do

All of my life I want to be

Good and sweet till eternity



I do thee wed this day

With this ring we go our way

For better or worse I take thee wed

By your hand I will be led



Through the years we'll live in bliss

Life will be full of happiness

Oh chimes from the church bells will ring

With each hour they'll be rippling



Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

I am yours to cherish and behold

With this little band of gold


VINCE GILL lyrics - Young Man's Town



(Vince Gill)



You wake up one morning, and it's passed you by

You don't know when, and you don't know why

You feel like an old memory hangin' 'round

Man you gotta face it - it's a young man's town

You know this day was comin' all along

So why bitch and moan and say they've done you wrong

Just teach 'em what you know, and pass it on down

'Cause man, you gotta face it - it's a young man's town



[Chorus:]

It's a young man's town full of young men's dreams

And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings

Sometimes you gotta stand back

And watch 'em burn it to the ground

Even though you built it - it's a young man's town

You always seem to be the last to know

Man, it's just the way the story goes

There's nothing you can do when the fields have turned brown

Man, you gotta face it - it's a young man's town



[Chorus]



Well, sometimes you gotta stand back

And watch 'em burn it to the ground

Even though you built it - it's a young man's town


T. REX lyrics - New York City



Did you ever see a woman

Coming out of New York City

With a frog in her hand



Did you ever see a woman

Coming out of New York City

With a frog in her hand



I did don't you know [3x]

And don't it show

THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Why Don't You Get A Job?



My friend's got a girlfriend

Man he hates that bitch

He tells me every day

He says "man I really gotta lose my chick

In the worst kind of way"



She sits on her ass

He works his hands to the bone

To give her money every payday

But she wants more dinero just to stay at home

Well my friend

You gotta say



I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way

Why don't you get a job

Say no way, say no way, no way

Why don't you get a job



I guess all his money, well it isn't enough

To keep her bill collectors at bay

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough

Cause that girl's got expensive taste



I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way

Why don't you get a job

Say no way, say no way, no way

Why don't you get a job



Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all

But hey man free rides just don't come along

Every day



Let me tell you about my other friend now



My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick

She tells me every day

He wants more dinero just to stay at home

Well my friend

You gotta say


HAWKWIND lyrics - The Fifth Second Of Forever (Circles)



(Brock / Lloyd-Langton)



There's a circle on a paper

High a planet in the sky

From the dust which will not settle

Hours is the time you lie.



Track your finger in the cluster

You've found the cause which is called must

Remember always you are nothing

Though others say that you must suss.

(You must trust the new messiah)



Of time which is the passing quasar

A venture short within ourselves

Through the veil of sleek emotion

The mists of dark cannot be felt.


ELTON JOHN lyrics - Li'L Frigerator



She looked so easy `cause she looked so young

With a geisha smile made in Taiwan

She got cherry bombs inside her eyes

And the luck of the Irish on her side



Don't let her tell you that she loves your mind

She's got her price, she can turn on a dime

Those crocodile tears ain't tears of pain

Look a little closer, that's acid rain



And I don't know

Why li'l frigerator you're so cold

Go li'l frigerator go

Get away from my soul

Li'l frigerator you're so cold



She's calculated with the kiss of death

Got a digital mind and expensive breath

She's an empty shell, you're a piece of meat

Just another statistic on her readout sheet


THE CHURCH lyrics - Macabre Tavern



[Incomplete Transcription]



[L]

First night of summer the air comes rushing in across the trees

Bringing strange birds from beyond....

Deep in some...she's gone to another place. Far far from here...

Sand filled waves crash down and churn on a moonlit beach, and

White...



[C]

I will drink with you to forget, if you have a brain I will

Eat with you, and in doing so...

Since the beginning of time...

With purchases intended...



[R]

The future ingests us as the past spits us out....

Lead to ridiculous one night schemes...

Never do anything twice...

Many dark nights and scramble for attention....

Many a dream of open possibilities...with conscious discontentment..

That's what they want, that's what they want to hear..

A miserable relic of ecstasy, a ruinous affair or an unexplained

Death. A kick in the head from a velvet boot of tristesse, and a

Cruel pinch of weary irony, misery monger, or pleasureman, leaves

Behind unsatisfied...

Involving
